Arts
Arcata High School has a number of special programs, including the Arcata Arts Institute, which helps students with a particular interest in the arts (music, dance, acting, etc.) to pursue their interests. Arcata high hosts the ARMACK Orchestra, conducted by Carol Jacobson.
As part of the Northern Humboldt Union High School District, Arcata High School is closely affiliated with the only other public high school in the district, McKinleyville High School, and groups such as the orchestra and the jazz band, as well as some drama productions combine students from the schools.
In fall of 2007 all four choir members who tried out for the California State Honor Choir were accepted.
